NSK says it has developed an electric power steering (EPS) system optimised for modularisation for application to multiple types of global vehicle models.

The company says the product is designed for a range of applications that “respond to the diverse, advanced needs of each region for vehicle models produced globally.

“It is also lighter and safer and keeps cost increases to a minimum.”

NSK is targeting JPY35bn (US$333m) in sales for the product in 2017.
